VIP dreamer until this past Saturday!

So, like most enthusiasts in the Import scene, driving Honda's and what not, you can only dream of owning a VIP styled car and still afford your "race" car. Well I have reached that point now by purchasing my 2000 Q45 AE this past Saturday from a local dealership!
After dailying a 1997 Acura EL on the brink of failure constantly, I decided to bite the bullet and become a first time borrower! 21 percent rate ftmfw, right?! I obtained the car for 6200 dollars and the car has 134,xxx miles, but runs like new. Car needs new hood struts and lower door weather stripping, which they wrote me a "bill due" for reimbursement of those parts from Infiniti.
I first plan to do a mild tune up for preventive reasons. K&N filter, fuel filter, plugs, tranny flush, oil change and perhaps a cabin filter. May be picking up a Universal air setup from a local kat later this week. I would like puddle lights, HID fogs, interior pillar lighting and some exterior LED's. Wheels, as most of you know, is a tough choice. So, I'm just waiting out for the right brand/model/size to come around, either on YAJ or on a local forum/site.
Here is one crap pic I took on my phone the night I picked her up!
Thanks in advance for help, sales, friends, etc!
